Today, we share a double happiness. First, Bhutan is celebrating its 118th National Day in the sacred Bumthang Valley - a day that marks the unification of Bhutan under our great leader, Gongsar Ugyen Wangchuck. Second, after a long wait, we are finally reunited with our beloved children after 972 days (2 years, 7 months, 29 days).
Our foreign dreams came with a heavy sacrifice. It was nothing like the pain of leaving behind our two beloved kids and family. Though they were well-taken care of by my brother, sister-in-law, and our mother, nothing eases the ache of being away from them. The early months were especially hard, filled with guilt, longing, and constant thoughts of their wellbeing.
Life did not offer us many choices while I pursued my studies. Bringing them with us then would have been so hard for all of us. We waited, endured, and grew stronger. Today, though I am still a university student pursuing a research degree, we are a little more secure.
As our children join us, we hope this new chapter fills them with humility, learning, life skills, and values to serve our king, country, and people.
Welcome to our rented home
